Escape From The Tyrant

Back to the Past Bag.7

He showed perfect pronunciation and accent that is usually only found by the royal family. Robert was very surprised to see Charlize who had remembered all the contents of the textbook without pause. It's really Adelio's textbook.

"It doesn't make any sense."

The book was only reserved for the direct lineage of the royal family and was even forbidden for high-ranking nobles. It made no sense for him to know the contents of the book.

'How does he know...?'

This girl, Charlize Ronan is considered a fool…

"But that's not all."

Anyone can find out the first page of the textbook. He could brag by memorizing small parts of the book. Robert regained his composure. But strangely, his hands were sweating. He believed he would fail to read the book any time soon.

But a minute passed.

And after five minutes, he had already told the 20 pages of the book without showing any signs of stopping. Robert is desperate.

'Has ten minutes passed?'

Charlize continued to read quietly. Enough to make Robert embarrassed to say there are qualifications to read a book. He waited for Robert to surrender. Surprisingly, Charlize read the book in earnest. Robert was starting to look pale. Then he opened the book.

'That's the same.'

He was reading the exact words from the textbook. He can actually read Adelio's textbook? He's not a member of the royal family? Robert could not understand. She even came up with the absurd idea that someone might have made her remember her because she was beautiful. But he already knew it wasn't true.

"Stop."

Robert pretended to be sharp.

“Reading books alone is not enough. Reading a book does not mean you have studied the science completely.”

"Is that true?"

Charlize answered brightly. Robert thought he was distracted, but he smiled because it was interesting. Robert never knew that he had memorized all these books. Not only did he memorize the book, he was informed of the opinions of every emperor for several hundred years.

“Then, you can ask me anything.”

A woman, trying to dominate a man like Robert who judges others with prejudice.

Questions? He can answer anything.

He thinks Charlize Ronan is stupid. Feeling a bit of a win, he asked confidently.

“In this last section of the textbook written by Adelio, it defines the most important elements of the royal discipline. What'sthat?"

“Ability to see essence.”

Charlize answered correctly. He continued.

“Everything leads to one point. This is not only the most important element for royal discipline. Economics, political science, history, religious studies—all lead to this one thing. Royal discipline exists to develop the ability to see through the essence.”

Robert was surprised. Even Adelio did not explain the specifics. But he even pointed to the unexpected part and said the best answer.

Charlize smiled coldly.

“Some fools only learn how to rule while learning the discipline of the kingdom. But how can we say a person is a wise ruler just because his position is emperor? Before ruling the kingdom, first of all one must not exploit their position, and they must respect others as they are.”

His logic surprised Robert. He asked back.

"What do you think?"

Robert's confused. Although Charlize gave him enough time, he could not answer.

He looked at Robert.

"Those who see only the outward appearance never realize the true value of the inside."

She is a girl with a pretty face. There were ambiguous words in his statement. It was like he was teaching her a lesson.

But he was trying to figure out a way to control the situation, but why couldn't he?

Robert looked at Charlize. His blue eyes glowed mysteriously as if they contained the entire universe.

“The book is just a shell. Isn't true understanding necessary to make it useful knowledge?”

Charlize gave him a lesson that could not see true essence. Robert fell silent as he was humiliated by Charlize's abilities.

'Is there nothing I can do?'

No, this can't happen. Robert barely managed to keep his composure. Lost to Charlize Ronan?robert must not defeat him.

“But it's just..”

Robert clenched his teeth and continued speaking.

“There are rumors that the 13th prince will be killed soon. And receiving a lesson from a teacher meant that he joined the fight for the throne. You have no power to protect the 13th prince.”

Robert began to raise his voice.

Robert thought now, Charlize would falter. It is known that Robert supported the crown prince. Since Charlize worked for the 13th prince, she would be afraid of the crown prince. And eventually Robert will be the winner. To his surprise, he smiled even brighter.

His eyes were folded like a crescent moon. His expression was dreamy and calm. She had a beautiful smile on her face.

"I think my prince will understand Adelio's textbook better than the prince you support."

Ignoring Dylan was an insult to the royal family. Charlize was not good enough to accept this humiliation. He didn't know why, but maybe because Dylan respected him.

'A man who will become a tyrant should not be ignored by these people.'

Making one more person quiet always helps. The mood changed suddenly. If he could turn into anything at the moment, he was now a sharp cold sword.

“Robert.”

Charlize 'looks down' Robert. Charlize is a magic sword. Although she looked like a graceful puppet pretending to be human but she was still as sharp as a sword. She was very beautiful, mysterious like a fairy. As soon as Robert saw Charlize's eyes, he was terrified.

"Whoever speaks without a second thought, he will die sooner than before."

It was his warning with a cold smile that he should pay attention to his words. Robert did not know that it was filled with bloodlust, and bloodlust. The terror he summoned within him had already exceeded the range of human abilities. He just felt like he was suffocating.

'What is this?'

His mind began to break into pieces. Every part of his body began to stiffen. If he was a little scared, he could retreat. But Robert felt cold and stopped. Robert opened his eyes. As he carved the seal on the Duke's body, he would not be able to break his orders from now on.

"I wish you could keep your mouth shut."

He relaxed the tension as if it was nothing, but Robert still remained silent. It was so beautiful and incredibly intense. It was so powerful that he almost suffocated to death just by looking at it.

"Then…"

He just left a farewell and left the library. There was a textbook in his hand. Fortunately, there were not many people in the library at the time. There was only one person who saw Charlize's true side behind her personality, Robert.

“…”

He held his breath for a long time and he finally managed to breathe. His hands were soaked with sweat. He never wanted to feel that mysterious feeling again.

That afternoon.

Charlize begins teaching Dylan to use textbooks for the first time. He had only taught her swordsmanship until now. The classroom is spacious and clean. Mary helps Charlize organize the books onto the bookshelf.

“Your Majesty, you must read fifty pages of the book. If you have something to ask or if there is something you do not understand, please ask me after learning it.”

Dylan stared at the textbook on the study of the kingdom.

"It's the first day so let's just study casually."

He raised his head again, and looked at Charlize calmly.

'By Relaxing?'

His face was sending non-verbal questions. Because the curriculum of this book is about five times faster than the usual curriculum. But Charlize did not avoid her eyes.

"Come on, that's easy for you."

Although he never said it out loud, he understood and answered it with a meaningful gaze. They still endure in long silence. Immediately, he sighed and began to read the book obediently. Finally there was some free time for Charlize. He started to lightly create a circle of mana in front of Dylan as if he was showing off. He leaned back the chair and stretched his body. He relaxed his muscles and took a quiet breath. He remembered his mastery in the emperor's sword dance in the past. It's time to be a teacher now. He started thinking deeply.

'What happened earlier in the library, Dylan must have heard it.'

Charlize believed in Dylan's information gathering. But he never knew where he got that information from. But given the performance he had shown before he went back in time, it was more foolish to think he would not know.

"I'm always ready to answer anything you ask."

But Dylan never asked for information first. Charlize was waiting for him to bite the bait. Opening a circle of light is difficult and boring. The silence was broken by the sound of him turning the page. Charlize immediately realized that she was staring at him instead of looking at the book.

'That type tickles.'

The senses are very sensitive when working with mana. Even though he closed his eyes, he could easily notice his gaze on her. He must have been curious whether he used mana or not because it made no sense. Witches were usually old, it was hard to believe for a small child to use mana. Charlize's existence was abnormal.

dilan.

"I've read all the teachers."

Charlize slowly opened her eyes. He controls the flow of mana in the class as he wishes. When he opened his eyes, all the mana disappeared.

“Sun has not set. You are very fast, Your Majesty. ”

He smiled as he acted like he did not know his true abilities.

“Do you have anything to ask?”

Charlize's nervous. Because at this moment, he was clearly staring at her. Tension rises in the air.

But then, his lips opened.

"You never talk about your family."
